FYI
You probably noticed that there were two routines named MainRoutine. ControlLogix
provides program scoping, which allows routines under different programs to have the
same name. Program scoping also allows program tags to have the same name as tags
under other programs. The program scoping concept makes it easy to cut and paste
code for reuse.
